But the true magic lies in her characters. Her descriptions are incredibly vivid and lush. You never have to wonder what the isle looks or feels like. Rebecca Ross’ writing is top-notch in this book.
All you can do is become more and more swept away by this hauntingly beautiful story. You no longer have the ability to put the book down. As you read about the isle of Cadence, the isle casts a spell upon you. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review.
With unforgettable characters, a fast-paced plot, and compelling world building, A River Enchanted is a stirring story of duty, love, and the power of true partnership, and marks Rebecca Ross’s brilliant entry on the adult fantasy stage. But with each passing song, it becomes apparent the trouble with the spirits is far more sinister than they first expected, and an older, darker secret about Cadence lurks beneath the surface, threatening to undo them all. Adaira, heiress of the east and Jack’s childhood enemy, knows the spirits only answer to a bard’s music, and she hopes Jack can draw them forth by song, enticing them to return the missing girls.Īs Jack and Adaira reluctantly work together, they find they make better allies than rivals as their partnership turns into something more. The capricious spirits that rule the isle by fire, water, earth, and wind find mirth in the lives of the humans who call the land home. Enchantments run deep on Cadence: gossip is carried by the wind, plaid shawls can be as strong as armor, and the smallest cut of a knife can instill fathomless fear. But when young girls start disappearing from the isle, Jack is summoned home to help find them. Jack Tamerlaine hasn’t stepped foot on Cadence in ten long years, content to study music at the mainland university.
House of Earth and Blood meets The Witch's Heart in Rebecca Ross’s brilliant first adult fantasy, set on the magical isle of Cadence where two childhood enemies must team up to discover why girls are going missing from their clan.
